Jane Austen

Well like my sister Tia, I have been watching PBS's Masterpiece Classic on the complete Jane Austen. So today I went to the closest bookstore and picked myself up 5 of the 6 books.

Persuasion
Pride and Prejudice
Emma
Sense & Sensibility
and
Northanger Abbey (my favorite)

I just need Mansfield Park with the store didn't have...I will have to keep my eye out for it. Now the hardest part, which to read first... Any one have an opinion?

Persuasion. Or P&P

Persuasion was her final book and, if I remember correctly, was finished posthumously, and published YEARS after her death because it is so "dark" and "feminist."
Hands down my favorite.
I took a class on Austin in college.
